At Water’s Edge looks into unexplored corners of ambient electronica to uncover beauty in unexpected places. Music is everywhere–sometimes pretty, sometimes dark, always beautiful. awe.fm
Music is everywhere, in everything: in the hum of a city,
in the pulse of construction machinery or a heartbeat,
in footsteps, in laughter, in breath, in the shuffling of an impatient audience…
and, like John Cage’s “Four minutes and thirty-three seconds”,
all you have to do is sit and listen.

Stillstream features the netlabel Silent Records this month, and today's program digs into the archives of that excellent label. Based in San Francisco and founded by Kim Cascone, the original label was founded in 1986, folded in 1998, and is now enjoying a recent reboot thanks to the renewed efforts of its founder.
Silent Records brings a catalog of classic, high quality ambient music back to life. Please check out the full catalog here: silentrecords.bandcamp.com/
The video program today features a replay of the excellent night photography of Silva Capitana.
